The Daily Beast reported that theatrics were anticipated at the luncheon following the criticism of Trump Tuesday morning by Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who contended that Trump will be remembered for “the debasement of our nation.”

Corker further claimed that Trump is “not going to rise to the occasion as president,” asserting that Trump has a “lack of desire to be competent” and accusing Trump of constantly telling “untruths.”

Corker also said that he “would not” support Trump should he seek a second term as president.

Trump responded to Corker in a tweet, asserting that Corker “couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee.”

Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts….

However, there was no drama at the gathering at the U.S. Capitol, according to The Daily Beast, which noted that the “biggest reveal” to come out of the luncheon was that Trump ate two slices of cherry pie and a plate of rice — which he loves — according to the Secret Service.

Overheard Secret Service on @realDonaldTrump at lunch. He ate rice and 2 pieces of cherry pie. Took a few sips of his drink. “He loves rice”

Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas called the feud between Corker and Trump a “personality battle” and a “political circus.”

Following the luncheon, Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona announced in a speech on the Senate floor that he will not seek reelection, claiming that political civility and stability has been compromised by Trump.
